Hopefully the pictures post🤞🏼 the 1st picture is of my 2 SMLs. The custom is built on a Remington 700 single shot action, brux #17 with a 6in shank, Pierce self timing Muscle brake, trigger tech trigger set at 2lbs, ASG2 plug, nightforce 5-20x56 SHV scope with illuminated MOAR reticle, and a Stockys LRT stock. Gun weights 14.6lbs. Currently shooting a 325gr ST2 over H322 at around 2700fps. The other gun is my Scout Conversion. The picture of the 200yd group is my best to date, but have shot sub MOA the other times I have shot at 200yds. The picture of the 300yd group is what I will be working on in the coming year. My groups at 300yds aren't horrible by hunting standards, but I am consistently shooting the group to the right. I need to get that corrected before I would feel comfortable taking a 300yd shot at a deer. I am doing something differently when I shoot at 300yds vs. 200yds. The other thing I will be working on this coming year is using 4895 and a 300gr bullet. I was lucky enough to swap some 275gr Accumaxs and 275 ST2s for some 300gr Aeromaxs. The final thing I hope to accomplish this year is having a Custom Omega built. I have a 2nd Omega heading my way for extra parts. Thanks for all that have answered my questions over the last year. Hoping to do my part in contributing to this forum, but I know there are still a lot of things I need to learn. Hope you all have a great year 2020. My rambling is over😀 how do press ups help your body200yd group 300yd group picupload

You might try Benchmark with those 300s as well Pm me for details You can get near 3000 fps and it burns clean 4895 works but is more efficient with 325s and 350s

I believe 4198 and N-120 are two of the best for 300 gr. bullets! Moving up in bullet weight would be 8208 followed by 4895. Just my opinion. That 8208 has also been looking good with the 300's. I am working on getting the powder charges adjusted for these bullets.

I second the thought of benchmark with 300s mine shoots well.

It will come together Daniel. Fine looking shooting iron's. I would have never thought about the.458 calibration. I have been guessing at center as close as I could for decades...lol. we will get together when it warms and shoot the breeze. I sure hope you can make a challenge soon. After that you will be hooked...and return time after time. Unbelievable amount of education shared joyfully there Drop

I know the faces from Jeff's YouTube videos, but it would be nice to have formal introductions. Plan to make it to Iowa in September since it is only 3hrs away.
